The Shepherd’s Story: 4th Meditation
Verse 12 from Luke 2:8-20
“This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
The angel didn’t leave it at that. He gave them a sign: that a newborn is wrapped in the swaddling cloths of the newly born and is lying in an animal’s feeding trough. Every one of those poor men could picture this since their own poor children may well have been born so. Already they knew the Lord, the Messiah, the glory of God; had not been born into a palace but was like one of them!
Put yourself in the story. If God is giving you a sign of a new life or a new direction, would you see it?
